An efficient and convenient synthesis of pentasubstituted pyrroles from alkyl acetoacetates,dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates,and amines

A simple and efficient synthesis of pentasubstituted pyrroles has been developed using a one-pot, two-step reaction. The synthesis of a series of 4-hydroxypenta-1,3-diene-tricarboxylates from alkyl acetoacetates and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates in the presence of K₂CO₃, followed by cyclization with amines, gave the corresponding pyrroles in excellent yields.     

Synthesis of pyrimido[6,1-a]isoquinolines via a one-pot, four-component reaction

An efficient one-pot synthesis of pyrimido[6,1-a]isoquinoline-1-carboxylate derivatives is described. This involves the four-component reaction between primary amines, alkyl acetoacetates, isoquinoline and trichloromethylchloroformate (diphosgene) under mild conditions at ambient temperature.     

On the reactions of aroylacetonitriles with acetoacetates

2,7-Diaryl-3-cyano-4-methylpyrano[4,3-b]pyridin-5-ones were synthesized by Ni(acac)₂-catalyzed condensation of aroylacetonitriles with acetoacetates. The competitive Knoevenagel reaction gave 6-aryl-5-cyano-4-methylpyran-2-ones as by-products. A preparative method for the synthesis of the latter compounds in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) as a catalyst was proposed.

4-(3-Cyanopyridin-2-ylthio)acetoacetates in synthesis of heterocycles

Substituted 2-amino-4-aryl-3-cyano-5-oxo-5,6-dihydro-4H-pyrano[2,3-d]pyrido[3",2":4,5]thieno[3,2-b]pyridines were synthesized by the reactions of 4-hydroxy-1H-thieno[2,3-b;4,5-b]dipyridin-2-ones with arylidenemalononitriles or by the three-component reactions of hydroxythienodipyridinones with aldehydes and malononitrile in DMF in the presence of triethylamine. Methods for syntheses of substituted 3-alkoxycarbonyl-6-amino-4-aryl-2-(3-cyanopyridin-2-ylthiomethyl)-4H-pyrans were developed on the basis of the reactions of 4-(3-cyanopyridin-2-ylthio)acetoacetates and arylidenemalononitriles or aldehydes and malononitrile. Ethyl 4-(3-cyanopyridin-2-ylthio)acetoacetate and 4-methoxybenzylidenecyanothioacetamide were used for the synthesis of 6-(pyridin-2-ylthiomethyl)-3-cyanopyridine-2(1H)-thione.     

Synthesis of substituted furan-3-carboxylates from alkyl 3-bromo-3-nitroacrylates

Carbonyl-containing furan-3-carboxylates were obtained by the refluxing of alkyl 3-bromo-3-nitroacrylates and acyclic CH-acids, namely, pentane-2,4-dione and alkyl 3-oxo-butanoates in methanol in the presence of equimolar amounts of potassium acetate. The products can be prepared by the similar processing of 2-nitro-2,3-dihydrofuran-3-carboxy-lates being the intermediates in the total transformation.
